What resin garden paths involve
A resin path is a narrow resin bound surface used for garden walkways, side passages and front paths. It is laid on a compacted base with edging both sides, is permeable, and can follow tight curves without cutting.
Before quoting in Melksham we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Plots around Melksham are often generous, so turning areas and longer runs of edging are part of many quotes.
Projects we quote in and around Melksham include building a gentle ramp to a back door, finishing garden steps with resin treads and stone nosings and laying a curving path through a back garden. More about resin garden paths.
Prices for resin garden paths in Melksham
For the South West, where typical costs are above the UK average, these are the ranges we would expect before seeing your property.
As a guide, a 21 m² path in the SN12 area would be around £1,350–£2,100 laid over a sound existing base, rising to about £2,250–£3,550 with a dig-out and new permeable base.

Planning in Melksham
Patios, paths and steps in a rear garden are generally permitted development for houses. Listed buildings, flats and raised platforms are the main exceptions, and any part that is in front of the house follows the front-garden drainage rules.
General information for England, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
The South West gets more rain than the east of England, especially on higher ground, so permeability and falls matter on every drive. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Melksham jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
How it works
The steps are simple: guide price, free survey, written quote with a fixed price once the specification is agreed, then a date that suits you and the weather.
Resin garden paths in Melksham: questions
How soon can you survey in Melksham?
Call 0800 088 6341 or use the quote tool and we will offer survey dates. Surveys are free and run all year.
Do I need planning permission in Melksham?
In England, a new or replaced hard surface of more than 5 m² in a front garden is permitted development only if it is porous, or if rainwater drains to a lawn, border or soakaway within the property. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.
Is the price fixed for Melksham jobs?
Yes, once the scope and specification are agreed in writing. If hidden ground conditions turn up, we explain and agree any change with you before doing extra work.
